The
exclusive male-only Garrick Club, constantly gets signalled out has a bastion
of male elitism because of its rule on male only membership. Some MPs, like the
politically correct dipstick, Stella Creasy, have raised questions about it in
the House of Commons.
When
the Guardian recently criticised the cabinet secretary, Simon Case, and Sir
Richard Moore, the head of MI6, for being members of the male only Garrick,
they immediately resigned.
Some
argue that male only private members’ clubs are unfair, sexist, unacceptable
and discriminatory. Yet, there are female only private member’s clubs in London
and nobody bats an eyelid about it. The University Women's Club, has been
female-only since 1886. The Allbright club in Mayfair is female-only and so are
The Sorority, The Trouble Club and The Merit Club.
Why
are male-only club’s sexist and unacceptable, but not women-only clubs? Why are
women allowed their own private social spaces but not men? Why isn't Stella
Creasy demanding a ban on female-only private member’s clubs like The Allbright?
